Another object is to provide a simple and eiiicient connection betweenthe Windmill and the member actuated thereby.

Vith the 'foregoing and other objects in View which Will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the coni bination andarrangement ot parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that. changes in the preciseembodiment oit the invention herein disclosed may be made Within thescope of what is claimed Without departing trom the spirit oit theinvention.

In the accompanying' drawings Figure 1 represents a Yfront elevation ofa sign constructed in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is a section talen on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a detail section ta ten on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

In the embodiment illustrated, a Wind mill 1 is shown mounted on asuitable supporting structure and equipped with a wind Wheel 2 connectedto reciprocate a rod 3 which is accomplished in a manner ordinary Withmechanism ot this character, a disk 21 being here shown iixed to theshaft oi' the Wheel and having a crank pin 22 which operates in a crosshead 23 carried by rod 3.

A, board 10 is mounted in front ot the supporting structure oi" the Windmill, being preferably7 secured to the frame thereoin in any desiredmanner. Mounted on this board 10 is the representation otl any devicedesired to be advertised, or to Which attention is desired to beattracted.

and which is shown grasped in the hand 1Q of ar man, said hand beingcarried by an arm 13 pivoted at 111- to form an elbow joint whereby itis connected with the upper arm 15 pivoted at 16 to the shoulder.

The board 10 has a slot 17 formed therein which is designed to registerwith the reciprocatory rod 3 ot' the Wind mill and through which extendsa pin 18 which projects 1aterally from said rod and Which is designed tooperate in the slot 417 on the reciprocation of rod 3.

This pin 18 is connected With the Wrist of the arm 13 in any suitablemanner, a plate 19 being here shown riveted or otherwise secured to thearm forming a Wear plate and having an aperture 20 through which the pin18 extends. From the above description it Will be obvious that when therod 3 is reciprocated by the wheel 2, it Will move the pin 1S and causethe arm 13 to pivot at the elbow 111 and at the shoulder 16 impartingmotion to the razor 11 Which is positioned to move over therepresentation of the tace ot a man to give the appearance of a manshaving.
